Where to go?

     Now that I know what I want to film, there is just one question for me to answer. . . Where will it be filmed. In movies many different sets are chosen with long and thought out processes. But, I plan on only having one singular location to film at. In the process of deciding whether it was okay to only film at one location I found an EXTREMELY helpful video, that gave me tips and tricks for doing so from a director that did a piece called Broken Ceilings that did the same thing.


    Now while my opening isn't 90 minutes like Broken Ceilings was, I feel like a lot of the advice still holds true. I'm worried that one of the most difficult parts for me will be keeping the viewers intrigued as there won't be a large amount of scene changes. I plan on taking his advice by using all the areas of the one location as I can, like the hallway, reception area, and the therapists office, but that still leaves the question of where I'm going to film.
    Right now I have three options: make my house look like a therapist's office, ask my dad to use his lawyer office, and call an actual therapists office and BEG to film there. There are pros and cons of each of them so let's go through them.
    The first one up is my house. The good part about this is the large access to props, since everything that's in my house can be used, and there is also a grocery store 25 minutes away from my house (by walking), so if I need to get any last minute props I may be able to. On top of that, it will be significantly easier for my friends (the actors and crew) to get to my house as it is near almost all of my friends houses. On the other hand, my house doesn't have a reception area and it doesn't look like a therapist office, which can cause many problems.
    The next one up is my dad's office, which I believe is the best option. First of all, it is the easiest place me to gain access to (as long as he says yes), that actually looks remotely like a therapist's office. I know for a fact that my dad's office building has several reception areas, and a couch in his office to make it look more like a therapist office. The biggest problem with this location is that it's in Fort Lauterdale which means that I would have to take a smaller crew, which I honestly don't think would be that big of a problem.
    The last location, which I'm using as a backup, is an actual therapists office. While this could be perfect, I would need to be able to find one that would be close to my city, and actually allow me to film which I picture would be difficult, as therapist offices are extremely private.
    If you guys have any ideas on where to film, please comment them down bellow.
